Dombey and Son

'There's no writing against such power as this - one has no chance' William
Makepeace Thackeray A compelling depiction of a man imprisoned by his own
pride, Dombey and Son explores the devastating effects of emotional
deprivation on a dysfunctional family. Paul Dombey runs his household as he
runs his business: coldly, calculatingly and commercially. The only person he
cares for is his little son, while his motherless daughter Florence is merely
a 'base coin that couldn't be invested'. As Dombey's callousness extends to
others, including his defiant second wife Edith, he sows the seeds of his own
destruction. ©2020 Pandora's Box (P)2020 Pandora's Box
